"lag" problem workaround - sometimes

Oct 03, 2004 Screwball link
Hi all. I have discovered a semi-reliable workaround for lag when
trying to dock or jump.

As we have probably all seen recently, there are times when you tranisition from normal flying around to an area where you should get the "hit key to activate" message (i.e. safe to jump or dock), but it doesn't appear. A semi-reliable workaround is to fly back out of the "hit activate" area and then back into the area (sometimes it takes several tries). It then prompts you to hit activate in less time than waiting for the server to respond to the first time you entered the area.
